X Control Distribution (Bug?)

Howdy!

I have having the following issue:

This distribution contains an X control that when dropped from the palette breaks its linkage (see video), the palette was created manually.

I also have tested selected it from disk: "Select a Control..." and I get the same broken image

So it seems the distribution has been "corrupt" somehow??

Note that the .xctl sits in another Library (used to namespace the distribution)

When I put this Library in memory the broken X Control relinks (see video).

If I save to disk and reopen without the library in memory the x control seems ok.

The Libraries are locked and there are no dirty dots to suggest a linking issue.

I used the NI Build Spec to create the distribution, renaming the Namespace Library only.

Does anyone know why this could be happening?

What info is returned on the broken XControl. What is listed in your dependencies?

I have had this once in 8.5 with the Variant Probe

Hi Ton

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I could not post sooner as I was forced offline

Anyways, I have posted the code to the NI Thread if you wish to have a play with it.

Attached are the dependencies when I drop the XControl from the palette and it appears broken on the FP. Please note the library is distributed as locked (hence the locked glyph) and it has been loaded (which is good I guess!).

And also the errors

Cheers

If anyone is interested? I have started a service request with NI Support.

More details are in the cross post.
